Volunteers are vital at the Kansas Humane Society. As a private non-profit agency, we rely on the assistance of caring and hard-working volunteers in all of our programs throughout the year. Volunteers make a huge difference in the lives of our pets and our staff. Sign up to volunteer today or request a volunteer application by calling (316) 524-1590, ext. 210 or e-mailing Dayna Boso.
ABOUT OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
We do require that each of our volunteers attend an orientation session, a follow-up interview and animal handling training before beginning volunteer work. We must receive your completed volunteer application to reserve your space at the orientation. Orientation sessions usually fill up by the second week of the month, so get applications in early. You will receive a confirmation letter one week prior to your class date. Due to space, orientation sessions are limited to 25 people. The two-hour animal handling training is approximately two weeks after the orientation.
We welcome children, ages 9 and up, to volunteer, as long as they are accompanied at all times by a parent/guardian. Any volunteer under the age of 18 must be with an adult at all times. If you are a parent/child team interested in volunteering we do ask that each of you fill out an application form.
